Mrs. Roseland and flushed-red Jonathan begin this Q&A podcast with some pretty salacious Biohacker gossip (with some edifying personal antifragility philosophy takeaways); I explain why I don't trust Dr. Andrew Huberman (life lesson on cognitive quickslicing here). Then we move onto a bit of fan mail, address the free will question, and bring science to bear on the question does Niacin (Vitamin B3) supplementation cause cardiovascular heart disease?

I'll indulge in a bit of petty gossip for the edifying purpose of illustrating some pragmatic points about personal antifragility philosophy.
Dr. Andrew Huberman gets a lot of things right when it comes to applying antifragility philosophy but he got at least one thing very wrong.
Huberman rose meteorically as a health guru/influencer/podcaster a few years ago. He became very popular, very quickly which baffled me a bit because he's not particularly charismatic. His content - which is not bad but also not particularly original, clickbaity, or innovative - you can find in the recommended or trending section of nearly every major social media content platform. Every episode he introduces his show as "zero-cost to the public education" on health and science which is a clever way of framing up the century-old, listeners-time-wasting, interruptive mid-roll ad-supported business model which I'm sure has made him very rich in the last couple of years.
He's certainly a knowledgable polymath Biohacker, who does a decent job of communicating science, but there are a lot of good health podcasters out there, I wasn't sure why he became an overnight celebrity in my field.
The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains is a book that dramatically changed the way I look at the Internet. You don't need to read this book because the title says it all - your suspicions are correct, the Internet is NOT very good for our minds.

I answer the May Biohacking and lifehacking questions in the Q&A podcast below.
And I share some philosophical thoughts on the contraction of freedoms due to the global pandemic and explain why personal and interpersonal freedom matters more than political freedom in living a good life. Listen to it on the go here on Castbox.
Niacin, which is also called Vitamin B3, is an experiential Nootropic (an experience that you might NOT love!) with a range of Biohacking benefits that make the flush well worth it! This is the immediate release form of this vitamin, not a timed or slow release, I find the skin flush it induces slightly uncomfortable. The trade-off for that passing discomfort is boosting NAD, which has an expansive range of anti-aging benefits - from DNA repair to mental health support.
